Rick Waters #6
Mayan Waters : A Rick Waters Novel
Rick Waters is fresh off of solving a kidnapping case involving a famous guitar and ready to take a long break from work. He and his girlfriend Jules head to Tulum, Mexico, for some badly needed R&R. But their vacation is cut short when a young woman in the villa next to theirs is found dead in a bathroom, and $2.5 million dollars-worth of her father’s uncut diamonds go missing.
The local police want to rule the death a suicide, but Rick finds the circumstances too suspicious and fears the young woman, named Ava, was in fact murdered. She suffered from BPD and had a shaky relationship with her father and stepmother, among others. More importantly, her boyfriend—who has conveniently also disappeared, and whom Ava claimed raped her before she died—has a history of assaulting women and getting away with it. That makes him the prime suspect. While Jules braves dangerous territory to try and recover the stolen diamonds, Rick focuses on bringing justice to Ava by tracking down her boyfriend before he flees Mexico for good and leaves behind a cold case.

Great book!
I started this book, not sure if it was good or bad. I read the first chapters and continued reading it every chance I got. The story was engrossing, and the characters seemed like my own friends. And the story was plausible. I will definitely look for other books by Eric Stone. The book is hard to describe, but it is well worth reading.

Too corny
I’ve read all of the series up until this one but this one was just too corny and I left the story early and couldn’t continue. I gave this series some time to see if the author would get better with the story writing in progression because I really liked the plots but this one was really just more corniness than I could handle.
I’m sorry 😞

A Great Mystery Book
The twists and turns really keep you guessing. There are so many adventures. The characters are friendly and so kind. All the travel is great to read about. I enjoyed this book from start to finish.

A fun Mexican adventure, it was nice for the book to be centered around an area which I have visited, this made the book all the more intriguing, looking forward to the next installment

Nice mystery. Reminds me of ‘Outer Banks’ and is family friendly.
